Exploit records come from the public DeFiLlama hacks registry and are re-imported as recovery figures are updated. Depegs are detected daily from the platform's own hourly bars, and governance upgrades are read from Governor Bravo logs on chain; each row names its source. Curated entries add the transactions and addresses behind an event so it can be traced in the explorer and lined up against price windows. We publish what the source publishes, and amounts we cannot attribute are shown as blank, never filled in. The CSV carries the same rows as the filter you are looking at, one event per line, up to 5,000; past that, request the registry as a data export.
